This invention relates to a composition containing Arazyme as an active ingredient for the prevention and treatment of arthritis. More particularly, the Arazyme generated from Aranicola proteolyticus of the invention suppresses the progress of arthritis and protects joints by inhibiting the expression of TNF-a, which is an inflammation-induced factor, and preventing the loss of proteoglycan and collagen of articular cartilage. Therefore the Arazyme can be used as a composition for the prevention and treatment of arthritis.
